Programme overview
This 4 day Design for Electromagnetic Compatibility course provides a good outline of the basics of EM theory and common EMC problems. It covers all aspects of equipment design necessary to ensure a compliant design with a particular emphasis on PCB design and the implications of the various components. The course will include practical demonstrations and workshops.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this Design for EMC course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand EM basics – susceptibility and emissions
2. Understand common EMC pitfalls in PCB design
3. Develop a fundamental understanding of PCB current flows
Who is the course for?
The course introduces EMC and methods to both the design engineer and the manager. It will provide a good working knowledge of EMC so that the engineer can understand the EMC design features necessary to minimise the cost of meeting the EMC Directives.
